Withdrawing EPF

This will be my last post of the Malaysia citizenship renunciation series of posts

This is one of the method to withdraw your EPF as I found out later that KWSP actually offers other means of withdrawal. I'll share how I did mine.
  1. Use borang K to update an existing bank account that were previously opened before renunciation of Malaysia citizenship. This is to change the NRIC from the Malaysia NRIC number to Singapore passport and/or Singapore NRIC number 
  2. What to bring 
    • Singapore passport
    • Singapore passport photocopy
  3. Updating of bank account information will take 3 days for CIMB, so I had to take another trip to Malaysia just to go to KWSP and not able to do it all in one single day

Once the bank account information is updated
  1. Get a printout from the bank of the latest bank account information with the updated Singapore passport number and/or Singapore NRIC number.
  2. What to bring
    • Singapore passport
    • Singapore passport photocopy
    • Borang K
    • Borang K photocopy
    • Bank account information printout with the newly updated NRIC number
  3. Form to fill up to withdraw EPF is "KWSP 9K (AHL)" and also a form to change Malaysia NRIC to Singapore NRIC number. I forgot to jot down the form number as everything happened in a hurry because it was near their knock off hours. The person attended my case forgot to get me to change my NRIC and phone me after I left KWSP. Luckily I wasn't very far away.
  4. If you have a Malaysia mobile phone number, KWSP will SMS you when your funds are transferred to your bank account. This process will take about 3-4 weeks.

Borang K

Finally! I obtain my borang K. Below is what I did.
  1. Went to Immigration & Checkpoint Authority (ICA) in the morning
  2. Take the lift to level 6
  3. Get a queue ticket by pressing "Enquiry"
  4. When my number is called, show my temporary Singapore NRIC as proof that I'm who I said I am.
  5. Get my certified photocopy of
    • Singapore NRIC
    • Citizen certificate
  6. I was told by ICA officer there isn't any photocopy services within the building. Never really went around to proof her wrong. So I went to a nearby photocopy store. There is one opposite burger king and I photocopied these
    • Singapore NRIC (2 copies)
    • Citizenship certificate, front & back (2 copies)
    • Passport, bio data page only (2 copies)


After that I head to Malaysia High Commission (MHC) that opens at 2:30pm. Seems to me, they open earlier than 2:30pm. Every time I'm there before 2:30pm, there are already people finished their task and leaving the place. This is what I did there.
  1. Go straight to the left most counter in that room
  2. Hand over the photocopied documents.
  3. Got my borang K and my birth certificate.
  4. Head over to the other room where Malaysians renew their passport.
  5. Photocopy my borang K, front & back.
Head over to ICA.
  1. Take a lift to level 6
  2. Get a queue number by pressing "Collection"
  3. When my number is called. Hand over the photocopied borang K and show the officer the original for verification.
That's all. Next I'll be going back to Malaysia to sell my parent's car which is under my name and also to withdraw my EPF.
